  • May Adventures

    A whole lot of change has been going on around here...as alluded to in the previous post, we moved to Utah and should be here for about a year...talk about a crazy change.  Moving when it was just Stan and me was a breeze, I never realized how difficult it was on kids though!  Garrett and Logan have taken it a little rough initially, but I think we are starting to settle down.  It's taken awhile to adjust...it probably didn't help that I took off to Northern California  just 10 days after being here, nor does it help that Stan has taken off for two months to participate in some away rotations for school.

    My family lived in Northern California for 12 years...I still claim it as my hometown and where I grew up.  Anytime we visit we always make a stop at the Jelly Belly Factory and take a tour of the factory.  It is a fun little trip and you are allowed the opportunity to sample many flavors.  After being in the car all night it was also a welcome opportunity to walk!

    The main reason for our trip to CA was to show support for our good friends who were married.  The were sealed in the Oakland Temple...unfortunately I didn't get any pictures (good friend, I know), but I managed to get this one of the boys in front of one of the many fountains.

    Thomas the Train
    May 26, 2007


    Garrett is quite the train enthusiast and he loves Thomas.  Grandma and Grandpa took the grandkids up to see Thomas while he was visiting the Heber Creeper up through Provo Canyon.  Garrett loved it and was thrilled for the adventures of the day.

     There were a lot of fun activities, thanks Grandma and Grandpa for providing us with the opportunity to visit.  We enjoyed watching our kids and spending time with the family.

    Garrett's first black eye...when asked what happenned, he would say mommy hit me.  I didn't really, but I did at the same time...I was opening the back of our van (yes you read that right a van) and he came around the corner and they connected nicely.

    Logan was suppossed to be playing with the tupperware, but he thought it was more enjoyable to play inside of the cupboard instead....right up until the point where Garrett decided to "lock" him in!  Oh the joys of having brothers...good thing we are adding another one to the crowd maybe then Logan won't feel so picked on!


      Thanks for coming, hope you enjoyed the show.


    THE END!!!
